Bah. I wrote a blog post on my feelings about dead rising a while ago- basically it has a wonderful concept, and then does it’s level best to drain the fun out of it for you, with pathetic boss fights, an irritating save system, and a stupidly small inventory system. Not to mention past a certain point it decided as well as zombies you should have to fight other, lamer, enemies.

Hmm. Many friends have recommended Res4 to me for various consoles – even the gamcube but seeing those great screenshots of subedii’s I’m now quite tempted to hunt it down and give it a go…

…Man, I love RPS. :)

Link me to those mods please. I’d put resi4 aside because of the controls.

When i’m platforming i use a pad, when i’m flying a use a stick, when i’m driving a use a wheel. But when i’m shooting zombies i use a mouse.

@subedii:
So the PC version of RE4 is definitely worth buying if you apply a ton of mods? Which mods specifically?

Wow that looks amazing. I remember looking around for mods, but all I found was a high-res texture pack which kind of helped, and a patch that had lighting but was only for the European version of the game.

DMC4 was a brilliant port, and Capcom seem to be pretty dedicated putting effort into their ports now.

The RE4 port was pretty atrocious, but when you’ve modded the absolute tar out of it, I have no qualms in saying it’s the best looking version of the game by far. The mod community really did spectacular work fixing the game that could only be called half done (they didn’t even have the proper key prompts for the QTE’s, that’s a whole level of sloppy below anything I would expect from the worst modding crew on their first project).

By comparison, the Wii version:

The PC version before it was fixed:

The PC version after modding, includes full lighting, bloom, and even depth of field and optional shader and motion blur effects :

I even gave myself a green sighting laser:

Regarding the save game system in the original, I think that’s a deliberate choice and one that doesn’t chime with everyone. It wasn’t broken, per se – it was just more like a roguelike, albeit one where you got to keep your attributes. It was a pretty ingenious way to get the most out of the game – the story line was a fixed 6 hours, and you had to prioritise how you wanted to spend them. So you couldn’t rescue everyone, dress as a pimp, complete the story and kill 55453 zombies (or whatever it was). A “sleep-state” save anywhere that deleted on start-up would have been helpful though, and not impacted the core mechanic.

I mean, I just found it a bit too stressful, to be honest. But it was an interesting choice and rather enjoyable. Plus I enjoyed killing the jeep gunner in the park armed only with dinnerplates.

I hate zombie games.

I am making a exception for L4D because is more a life style than a game. As a exception, is exceptional.

Now, Imagine if a modder get his hands on this game (or other zombie game) and replace the zed grrrrrrrh sound files by “please dont shot!” ,”help, help!.. he as a gun!!!”. and clean the zombie textures from blood and dirt, to have perfectly reasonable and live people. It will be a hell of a mod.
